Publisher's Synopsis
Best-selling author Susie Bright's first work of fiction and her first collection of short stories. Bright reveals the outlier reaches of family, tribe, last rites-as well as the elegiac care and feeding of the fast-disappearing.
"Foxes see the planet's magnetic field as a ring of shadow, right upon their eyes. That was me. The shadow only becomes darker as it heads true north. When the shadow, and the prey line up? It's time to bounce."
From Zap Comix to Timothy Leary's memorial, to a lesbian separatist enclave, the White riots of the Deep South, and the queer undergrounds of the California coast-Bright has cast a watchful eye on the private side of the counterculture and its discontents. In her world, a close encounter with the Centennial Herd is not too far from the acid patch.
Susie Bright is the author and editor of titles such as Big Sex Little Death, The Sexual State of the Union, Santa Cruz Noir, and Full Exposure.
